Background: Metastatic carcinoma manifesting as a mass in external auditory canal (EAC) is very rare, and prostatic adenocarcinoma (PA) presenting firstly as a mass of EAC has not been reported.Aim: To report a case of PA manifesting as only a mass of EAC.Case report: A 77-year-old man presented a right EAC mass.Otoscope identified a small mass app
Abstract Background Aging significantly elevates the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases.Neuroinflammation is a universal hallmark hus726040als214 of neurodegeneration as well as normal brain aging.Which branches of age-related neuroinflammation, and how they precondition the brain toward pathological progression, remain ill-understood.Th
strafe hayden jacket A new course entitled "Methods of Operations Research (OR)" was introduced at the Department of Applied Mathematics of Stellenbosch University during the second half of 2001.The aim of this course was to introduce students of OR to the trauma of mathematical modelling in real-world scenarios, instead of merely teaching them a n
Increasing the effective performance of automotive tractor engines is primarily associated with the intensification of the working process parameters.One of the options for solving this problem is to improve the cylinder filling parameters, which will allow to increase the engine power and torque.In addition to mechanical and gas turbine supercharg
As Nb films are widely used as superconducting electrodes of Josephson junctions, it is important to investigate the properties of Nb films in order to fabricate high-quality Josephson junctions.In this whip carbon magnum work, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the relationships among the properties of DC magnetron sputtered Nb films with a
